GloFo sampling Peregrine’s rf SOI technonologies
Globalfoundries has begun sampling the first rf switches built on Peregrine Semiconductor's UltraCMOS 10 rf silicon-on-insultaor (SOI) technologies.
The two companies have also created a fabrication flow for the 130nm UltraCMOS 10 platform, which they claim delivers a 50% performance improvement over comparable solutions.
"Globalfoundries is the perfect strategic partner for Peregrine's next generation of rf SOI technologies," said Peregrine ceo Jim Cable. "It enables us to have a comprehensive technology roadmap with access to future generation technologies.
"This joint development partnership also offers our customers new levels of product performance, reliability and scalability, and it enables us to push the envelope of integrated rf front end innovation."
